Super technology leader

On Mars, as the American Mars rover approached, the two astronauts gradually saw the two Mars habitats and large reflective solar panel arrays standing in the distance.

This is Tianxia's "Crimson" Mars base. Although there are only two habitats now, it will soon be a magnificent Martian city.

Even as "opponents", Victor and Mark believed in this plan.

"Tianxia's development speed is too fast. We can only manage a hasty landing, but they already have two habitats."

Mark, sitting in the passenger seat, said with emotion.

"Yeah," Victor said, looking at the standing habitats as he drove, "Our mission this time is already very advanced. According to the plan, the Mars missions in the next few years are only unmanned Mars sample returns."

After speaking, they both fell silent. The gap was indeed a bit large.

Fortunately, the sudden appearance of aliens directly awakened Tianxia and America.

Tianxia's awakening made them realize that they couldn't only focus on development on Earth. Variables had appeared, the steady progress plan had to change, and space had to be included in the future plan.

Then, after a series of operations, they had a small Mars base in a very short time.

And America's awakening was to completely see Tianxia clearly, to see the essence of the round panda. No matter how cute it is, it is still a carnivore, a bear.

Although they attached great importance to it, they were almost fooled by its cuteness.

If Tianxia continued to hide like that, America might not know the truth about Tianxia even when it died.

America had a greater and more profound sense of vigilance, and at the same time, it wondered: How did Tianxia surpass it so quickly?

It knew that Tianxia had been developing at a high speed, but the speed of catching up shouldn't be so fast. According to normal calculations, it would take at least several decades.

But it hasn't been a few years, and it has not only caught up, but also directly left itself behind, even making it difficult to see the taillights.

This is not right!

This is very unreasonable!

Even drifting in the gutter isn't this fast!

Since the speed of Tianxia's car is unreasonable, there must be external "power" involved.

At first, people thought it was Navigator, because it built rockets, so it was normal to install two rocket boosters on Tianxia's car, but after thinking about it carefully, even if the engineers in Navigator were great, they were still human, and humans have limits.

Humans know their own limits very well, and Navigator's development speed is indeed a bit strange.

Although there have been various "god-like" scientists and inventors in human history, many people don't believe that Tianxia has recently produced one.

Moreover, the core figure in this, Tang Chao, is too young, only in his twenties.

At this time in history, many super figures may not have fully formed their worldviews.

When Einstein was this age, he only obtained a doctorate in physics, proposed the photon hypothesis, and successfully explained the photoelectric effect, and later won the Nobel Prize for this...

Uh, okay, there are indeed many great figures in human history.

However, the appearance of aliens still attracted many people's attention to Mars, and also made some people generate divergent thinking.

"Could the rapid advancement of Navigator's aerospace technology be related to aliens?"

Look, Navigator's BOSS has such a good relationship with aliens, and he learns alien languages so quickly, could it be that he has been in contact with aliens for a long time?

If it were another alien civilization, some people might not think so, but the one that came to the solar system happened to be this "civilization race that yearns for the starry sky". Their technology tree is very similar to that of humans, not the kind of strange technology tree that looks strange. Humans don't know where to start if they want to learn that kind of thing.

Many people will have this kind of brain hole, and then give birth to conspiracy theories.

Of course, when a huge social change is about to occur, it is not surprising that people have all kinds of ideas and brain holes.

It only depends on how they plan to treat their brain holes. The more "unstable" it is, the easier it is to realize the change of class.

And the source of the change is not far from Victor and Mark, in the two Mars habitats.

The Mars habitat manufactured by Navigator is 18 meters high, the main cabin has a diameter of 10 meters, and the full-load mass is about 100 tons.

In this mass, the fuel it carries for descent buffering accounts for a large part. After it lands on the surface of Mars, it will not have that mass.

And after completing its mission, the four engines and supporting fuel tanks above it will be useless.

After the remaining hydrogen and oxygen fuel inside is drained and stored for use in other places, the empty shell-like thruster will have a new mission.

They will be dismantled and then broken down into smaller pieces by the astronauts, and finally thrown into the recycling device to become available raw materials.

Looking at the entire habitat from bottom to top, the bottom is a 5-meter high, 9.5-meter maximum length, and 5-meter wide pressurized multi-purpose cargo hold.

The reason why the cargo hold, which should have been cylindrical, has become a generally cuboid space is because in addition to the airlock taking up space and being able to load goods, it is also a work center.

The equipment installed inside can produce parts and assist astronauts in completing the installation, repair, and maintenance of equipment.

For example, a 3D printer adapted to the Martian environment can use recycled raw materials to print some parts according to needs.

This is a very important "storage" space because they are different.

Of the two habitats, only one habitat's pressurized warehouse has this function. The other pressurized cargo hold has been converted into a plant cultivation center, which is commonly known as a vegetable greenhouse.

The reason why they dare to invite aliens to eat hot pot and take out precious green leafy vegetables is because they brought a lot of seeds when they came, and they can grow their own if they want to eat them.

What is the recycled liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel used for? Of course, it is used to synthesize water. After synthesizing water, it can be used to make nutrient solution and then plant plants.

Of course, they will not eat what they grow. The first few batches are always used for experiments. The matter of growing their own vegetables and eating them themselves will be postponed until later, after verifying that there are no problems before they enter their stomachs.

All kinds of experiments require electricity, and the drill bit that is slowly drilling down also requires electricity. Whether it can drill out water depends on it.

These things require electricity. Relying only on the two small solar panels that come with the habitat is not enough, so their pressurized cargo holds are equipped with a lot of solar panels, which are used to let them deploy solar photovoltaic arrays.

Because of the precise landing capability, the distance between the two habitats is very close, so close that they can be connected to each other with telescopic channels, so that they don't have to put on and take off spacesuits back and forth when entering and exiting, leaving only one entrance and exit.

Next to them is a large solar photovoltaic array composed of solar panels.

In Tianxia, they have already laid a large number of solar photovoltaic arrays in the desert Gobi, providing a lot of clean energy for Tianxia. They have very strong technical accumulation in this area, and they have a lot of experience in using this thing.

The climate of the desert is somewhat similar to the Martian climate, so that many science fiction movies about Mars are filmed on location in the desert, so in the absence of nuclear fusion equipment, using solar photovoltaic arrays is a very good choice.

Although it is a bit far from the sun here, there are only two habitats here, so laying more is enough.

The aliens also took the initiative to help a lot when building this photovoltaic power station, so in order to commemorate this first construction project of human-alien cooperation, they specially arranged the photovoltaic power station into a circle, with circles of photovoltaic panels, which looks very regular and beautiful.

But this thing shouldn't be used for a long time, and it can only be used as a monument in the future.

Because Tang Chao plans to use nuclear fusion in a while.

Where did it come from?

Of course, it was "sponsored" by aliens.

He now calls aliens brothers every day, and it is right for aliens to send some things, it's a matter of human relations.

Moreover, he controls the fast transportation channel between Earth and Mars. If aliens want to repair their spacecraft on Mars, they will inevitably use the Mars base under Tang Chao's name.

Helping Tang Chao is helping themselves.

The most important thing is that Tang Chao not only has the false name of "Civilization Diplomacy Ambassador", but he is also the "Navigator" of human technology who holds real power!

Every energy revolution will cause a small storm, and the use of nuclear fusion will be even more so, but if aliens intervene, it may be much better to implement, at least the national organization should know what to do.

Of course, it may be more chaotic because of the intervention of aliens...

It hasn't been done yet, this is not easy to say.

However, man proposes, God disposes. "Navigator" always has to face all kinds of unexpected situations that appear for the first time.
